Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
  2. Grate the cheese. In a bowl, mix it with the cream, the beaten egg, a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Place a flatbread on a baking-paper-lined tray and spread half the filling over it, leaving a border.
  4. Fold the edges over and place the bread on the bottom, then repeat with the other breads.
  5. Melt the butter and brush the top of each bread, then bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
  6. Take out the breads and let them cool for 2 minutes before cutting.

Variations and tips

Extra-gooey version. Add an extra spoonful of cheese on each bread before folding, for a more runny centre.
